Florida is leading the Republican immigration crackdown (www.motherjones.com)

Earlier this year, Republican lawmakers in Florida passed a slew of immigration bills that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed less than an hour after they were sent to him. “Today, the Florida Legislature has passed the strongest legislation to combat illegal immigration of any state in the entire country,” DeSantis said. “We are ahead of the curve on ending the illegal immigration crisis.”

Since the call from Trump, hundreds of local law enforcement agencies nationwide have stepped up to help US Immigration and Customs Enforcement with its detention and deportation agenda. The agencies are participating in what is known as the 287(g) program, which deputizes local police and jails with immigration enforcement powers.

Agencies can participate in different ways. Officers on patrol, for example, can notify ICE if they’ve encountered someone with an immigration warrant. County jails can also hold immigrants for ICE, or detention deputies can be granted the power to conduct their investigations on people they suspect could be living in the US without status.

I said this in another comment, but I think it should be repeated:

I have a theory about all of this in the US and that they're trying in Canada and Europe:

In the US especially, our population growth is below replacement
Minorities as a whole are taking over the population with Latinos leading the pack
Racists in the Heritage Foundation, Republicans, Nazis, etc. don't like that
These Republican, Nazi, far-right, etc. take away abortion and contraception, so more US citizens have babies
They then deport and/or cause fear for the Latinos so they leave or don't come to America

TLDR: White assholes trying to make the US, Canada and Europe for "whites"* only.

*White definition may vary depending on if you have money or not
